EDITORS COMMENTS
or Profile of a Woman, is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Odilon Redon in the year 1900. This exquisite print showcases Redon's exceptional skill in capturing the mystical and fantastical elements of the human form. The image depicts a woman in profile, her face obscured by a voluminous, intricately designed headdress. Her clothing, a blend of nineteenth-century fashion and the artist's imaginative flair, consists of a flowing grey dress and a striking hat adorned with delicate white lace and black ribbons. Redon's masterful use of lithography, a technique involving the transfer of an image from a limestone plate to paper, lends an ethereal quality to this enchanting work. The contrast between the stark white and deep black tones adds to the intrigue, while the grey undertones create a sense of timelessness. This print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of France and the Symbolist movement, which emphasized the importance of the artist's imagination and emotional expression. "Femme de Profil" has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and continues to inspire and intrigue art enthusiasts around the world. Redon's Profile of a Woman invites us to explore the depths of our own imagination, as we ponder the meaning behind the woman's enigmatic profile and the story her intricate attire tells. This mesmerizing work of art transcends time and culture, leaving us with a sense of wonder and appreciation for the power of the human spirit and the boundless creativity of the artist.
